take this book out in public i guarantee you'll get some strange looks. into. memoirs of an anti semite it's a pretty rough title for a novel that's autobiographical now the author go for that so he was himself not an anti-semite but he describes the anti semitism that in 1900 s. europe was inescapable. memoirs of an anti semite chronicles a society that no longer exists today split between ukraine and romania the capital turn of it's was a diverse mixture of ethnicities a 3rd of the city spoke yiddish the holocaust wiped out that world completely this book revives a lost world and it's fascinating to see just how matter of fact front of its all the as in describing the anti-semitism that in his circles was given our kind of people the educated kind did not require such heavy arguments to look upon jews as

2nd class people we just didn't like them or at least like them less than other fellow human beings this was as natural as liking cats less than dogs or bed bugs less than bees and we mused ourselves by offering the most absurd justifications go for it it's all the lists of every prejudice against jews that was in circulation at that time but he doesn't give them any credence his best friend is jewish and he has several jewish lovers. here in germany from about so it is hardly known but in the rest of the world he is seen as a wonderful storyteller a pathfinder and a kind of literary chief witness. the grammys all the oscars of the music world and this year saw a real generation change at the awards in los angeles on sunday night the biggest winner is just 18 years old and it was such a sea change throughout the awards it was the parents of the winners who were

a rap album winner highly the creator blew them away with his life performance of new magic wall. but the historic grammy night belonged to eilish. for the teenage superstar the party is just getting started. was. called me. together is with me now the grammys too old to white to my. own same sort of change that yeah definitely definitely be that was the argument that everyone would make was making similar make with the oscars that they're out of touch that they're all about giving prizes to the old white men and
7:54 am
they have no connection to the sort of the youth diverse used today in the music they're listening to in the. there the music they're making but this year completely different i mean we not only had the youngest ever album of the year winner with 18 but her brother phinehas phineas who produces her music he's the youngest ever producer to win producer of the year at $22.00 but it kind of seems as though it's actually jumping a generation i mean i stole that. one somebody but that was all yeah definitely the whole it's incredibly young generation and through them all you see there they're making music in a very different different way and their passion up styles i mean it's you know it's listen it's billie eilish it's a little now as ex and the way they combine music is really amazing i mean listen as she is she's a she's a flutist she wraps she combines pop an r. and b. and also the way she looks and she doesn't look like your typical female pop star
7:55 am
would be used to seeing billie as the exact same way i mean she's got sort of an anti style she's almost an anti britney spears you might see some times of like a manga comic book character and little ass acts and he's phenomenal he dresses like elton john he combines a rap and country music and by the way the 1st openly gay rap performer to be nominated for one of the major awards at the grammys now the way music is being made and consume is totally different yet it is definitely i mean the these artists are the sort of the spotify generation they're used to just jumping back and forth between all the types of music out there mashing them up together often in their in their bedrooms as filyaw said she did with her with her her album and if you look at an album like a record like old town row from little nasa x. that record became popular not because of radio play but because it was played on social media particularly tech talk which is
